Hello, here is a question:
Identify what principles from learning theory could be used to help:
1. someone with a compulsion to wash their hands very frequently
2. patient who suffers from an irrational fear of spiders
3. prison governor whose inmates are becoming increasingly violent and disruptive.
It would be great help if you list the source i.e website + details for the theories.
thanks

Dianetics!!
The compulsion comes from something in the past. It is recorded in the mind. Dianetics is the Modern Science of Mental Health.
Irrational fears come from past events or a combination of past events, find their causepoint and the fear is solved.
Criminon which uses Scientology technology can solve this. Criminals are more violent because there are more drugs and toxins in our societies.

Cognitive behavior therapy: There are two techniques, systematic desensitization and implosion.
